We were actually discussing if storks are actually a real thing, or just pelicans that deliver babies while we were floating.LOL... I meant I'm a dork. It's not a stork. Cartoons .... they got me looking.

Lobstah; the other white meat!
Learn something new every day..........................The pelicans live mostly near the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and into the central regions of North America. There are two pelican species on the continent. The American White Pelican lives in freshwater and into the interior of North America and the Brown Pelican lives along the coasts and in the seas.

Where did all my money go?
What is that?

It’s a juvenile Baltimore Oriole. Possibly a female (subdued colors)? Here’s one that showed up today.

What are you feeding them?

I mix the Welch’s natural grape jelly with a locally made blackberry jam. The other cup has an orange nectar I bought at Menards. They can’t get enough. I’m watching one of the females going to town on the jelly as we speak.

The hummingbird seemed to like the orange nectar too.

Was just getting ready to take down the hummingbird feeders. First one I’ve seen at the feeders this year.

I'm kind of a big deal
I have two humming birds that I have seen over the past week, but can't get a good pic with my phone.

Light sensor was reading wrong on the camera for some reason, so they were all underexposed and got all grainy when if fixed them, so not happy, but they're still kind of cool.

That’s the challenge of shooting into something that is bright (like the sky). I have the same issue shooting into the shadows with a very well lit background. I have to adjust the shutter speed down a couple of steps and it takes care of it. I Love digital photography because I can see the shot is underexposed and quickly compensate.

I shot this the other day with my iPhone - a black vulture. Was having dinner with the wife at a place on a lake and 8-10 were circling overhead. Wish I would have had my Nikon with me!

Yeah, lesson learned for me for sure. Up to this point I've just trusted the light meter and haven't even looked at them because the picture quality in the led screen is so bad.

Not to be outdone - the Oriole was sporting his colorful outfit today!
